The active life of the deceased, which continued almost to the days of her final illness, had been filled with the loving care of her home and family and in fulfilling the high destinies of wife and mother.  Besides her husband she is survived by a daughter, Mrs.  H.L short, and by one granddaughter, Miss Helen L. Short.  A daughter, Mrs. C.E. Hewitt, died in 1888, and a granddaughter, Florence May Hewitt, in 1881.  Funeral services were held from the late home Friday afternoon at 2, Rev. John O.

Patronet Vincent Chamberlain

Chenango Union, December 20, 1906

The issue of The Bulletin of the First Methodist Episcopal church of Oakland, Cal, for Dec. 9, 1906, contains the following which will be of interest to the older citizens of this place.  "Our whole church is in mourning for the loss of our beloved brother--everybody's friend--Patronet Vincent Chamberlain, who was the faithful sexton of this church for more than twenty years and who was a consistent Christian for more than three score years.  Brother Chamberlain passed away in great peace last Monday morning.  The funeral services at the church were attended by a large congregation and the deep grief of all was a touching tribute to the memory and worth of this good man.  Sister Chamberlain, who survives him is in frail health, and we are all praying that she may be tenderly cared for and sustained by Him, who proclaims himself the judge of the widow and the Father of the fatherless.  May we all meet at the pearly gates the brother beloved who was wont to great us all at the doors of God's earthly temple with a hand clasp and a smile which was a benediction."  Practically all of Mr. Chamberlin's boyhood and early manhood was spent in Norwich [Chenango Co., NY].  He was educated at the Brockport Collegiate Institute.  For some years he conducted a photograph gallery over where Mrs. Morse's millinery store now is.  In the '80's he moved with his family to Manhattan, Kansas , and was prospering until the grasshopper plague drove them out, since which they have resided in California.  Pneumonia was the cause of death.  Mrs. Chamberlin was formerly Miss Mary Parker, daughter of Nathan Parker of Norwich. Three children were born to them.  One son only survives, Vincent G. Chamberlain of Oakland, Cal.
